Super Mario Bros., or Super Mario World? Mass Effect 2 or Street Fighter 2? Space Invaders or Galaga? We rank them all to figure out what are absolutely, positively the best games ever made.

100. Hotline Miami (2012)

100. Hotline Miami (2012)

Platform: Microsoft Windows

Hotline Miami is violent—really violent—but in a way that makes it ooze atmosphere: pulsing neon, pumping electronica, and blood splattered on the walls, and the floor, and you. You play as a thug fighting his way through room after room of men with guns and knives and every other murder-tool you can think of. You're not timed, but you must move quickl, because every room you enter requires mowing down enemies in a matter of seconds — lest the hail of bullets leaves you as the one splayed on the ground.

99. TowerFall (2013)

99. TowerFall (2013)

One of the only games to make buying an Ouya worthwhile (at least until it came to Steam and PS4 in 2014), TowerFall proved that multiplayer gaming could thrive on the couch, not just online.

Inspired more by Super Smash Brothers than Street Fighter, this 2D arena fighter takes fighting games and distills them to their most exciting moments. Every connected shot results in an instant-kill, making every moment tense, exciting, and fun for players and spectators alike.
